My wife and I finished this ride 2 days ago (11th July 2024). We are in our late fifties and used 2 electric gravel bike, and did it over 5 days. I downloaded the route onto my Gaia App and it worked very well. The ride itself was pretty easy and there were lots of beautiful Castles, churches and villages so it was very civilised. Unfortunately we had 3 rear - wheel punctures, which caused us a few problems (one happened during a monsoon!). Also I felt that some of the off road sections were a bit pointless. For example spending 10 miles wondering around Thetford forest was a bit boring - especially when there were quiet minor roads nearby. The 'keep smiling' guy makes a very good point about taking your bike on a train. You MUST book, as spaces are so limited (2 per train). But all in all I would recommend this route if you are looking for a nice easy tour.

This is a lovely sightseeing tour for a visiting tour. I would be stopping at all the historical sites. And I could travel at my "old lady" pace.🤗🚴‍♀️

The appeal for me, is that it’s on my door step, two nights out Wildcamping with lots of pubs dotted along the route. ATB mate

I am doing this in May with 3 friends. We’re doing this over 6 days with a mix of camping & B&B. This will be my 1st bikepacking experience, so I’m really looking forward to doing it.

I'm thinking of this for next spring, just ordered the accompanying book, the biggest appeal is nostalgia having spent a few years that side of the country whilst at college 25 years years ago, and rarely been back.

[@biking261]

You have confirmed what I thought about this route, that said I will be doing this at some point over the winter as it seems the ideal route to keep you ticking over during the winter months

[@TheYohtube]

Thanks for making this video, we will be riding this route soon!

[@alex_n8863]

I quite fancy this one, for a chilled out boozy cruise. Norfolk is the next county to me. Might give that a go in the spring. Cheers 👍

[@FENCYCLIST]

I'm hoping to do this once I get my knee sorted out, needs replacing, Norfolk is an area close to me in Peterborough, got the guide book for it, already found out loads I didn't know, can't wait to discover all the history while wild camping along route, did the Cantii way in October, that was amazing for the history.

Thanks...gonna give this a go ...👍

[@WheelersAtLarge]

Sounds perfect for us 👌 Cheers Josh

[@lunepilot2874]

Good honest review.👍

[@Snaver]

Can you mix this up and make it more off-road by hitting Peddars and Boudicca way? Anyone tried it?

[@fatbloaterdave]

Do you think this route would be possible on a Road bike?
